5. PRE-INSTALLATION SURVEY
The SEM(U) / IT(U) heating system must
have gas piping of the correct diameter,
length, and arrangement to function properly.
For this reason, a layout drawing is nec-
essary.
Carefully survey area to be heated, and for
best results, whenever possible, place burner
and combustion chamber in coldest area.
6. MOUNTING CLEARANCES
This heater must be mounted and positioned
to maintain the minimum clearance to com-
bustible materials as shown in FIGURE 1 &
TABLE 3. For recommended heater place-
ment refer to TABLE 2 (below). Heaters
should also be located and installed with re-
spect to building construction and equipment
to provide a minimum clearance of 24 inches
from the end of burner housing for servicing
and cleaning of burner, blower and controls.
A minimum horizontal clearance of 4 ft. from
electrical meters, gas meters, regulators and
relief equipment is required by ANSI Z223.1.
& CSA B149.1-00.
